The “Game of Thrones” movie now has a working title, “Game of Thrones: Aegon’s Conquest.”

The new name was announced as part of Warner Bros.’ CinemaCon presentation in Las Vegas on Tuesday night. It’s possible that the title will change in the coming months — or years. The first-ever big-screen “Game of Thrones” epic was shown as part of Warner Bros.’ “2027 and beyond” slate.

News of the movie first broke last month, and the only plot details announced are that it will follow the original conqueror Aegon I Targaryen from George R. R. Martin’s expansive “A Song of Ice and Fire” novels. The Targaryens are the dragon-riding, incest-loving rulers of Westeros in Martin’s books and HBO’s “Game of Thrones” universe, which includes the prequels “House of the Dragon” and “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.”

The history of Aegon I Targaryen was told in Martin’s “Fire and Blood” book, which chronicled the rises and falls of the various Targaryen kings. The original Aegon was the first to unite the kingdoms of Westeros under one ruler. He forged the Iron Throne from the melted weapons of his enemies and lorded over the land with his two sister-wives and queens, Visenya and Rhaenys. After his death, his heirs continued to serve as kings for many generations (with many of them also named Aegon).

“Game of Thrones: Aegon’s Conquest” will be written by Beau Willimon, who was previously the showrunner of Netflix’s “House of Cards” and a writer on Disney+’s hit “Star Wars” show “Andor.” The “Game of Thrones” world continues this summer with Season 3 of “House of the Dragon,” plus HBO ordered a second season of “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.”
